[Intro]
Argh-argh argh-argh biatch
Argh-argh argh-argh biatch
Argh-argh argh-argh biatch

[Verse 1]
Wanderlust refill this jill
It’s scuzz I’m how to go there still
It’s a shit show (Front row)
Pint of snake blood heat you on one
I am many and we are none
It’s a shit show (Both holes)
I’m a chase a voice a freak man
This a brand not your boy leave man
It’s a shit show (Eyes closed)
Low am I the harm the wrong done
Night to regret till I’m on one
It’s a shit show (Shit show)

[Bridge]
Greaser I need scotch tonight
Slicker her bitch and your wife illness
Demons in my shoes sickly
I came here to lose quickie

[Verse 2]
It’s a shit show
Head for this lap put my hands up
Weightless glisten press the cactus
It’s a shit show (Shit show)
Wink from this way to a live high
Lead when it’s played like it is fry
It’s a shit show (Two holes)
End of you like think you’re worth shit
Secret to throw these old curses
It’s a shit show (Bitch, no!)
This hole’s a break through this new door
Waste of all day of a shit show
It’s a shit show (Front row)

Death Grips is an experimental multi-genre group from Sacramento, CA, formed in 2010. Their music and live performances consist of vocals from Stefan “MC Ride” Burnett and production from Zach Hill and Andy Morin. On July 2nd, 2014, the band officially announced their disbanding via a note on their Facebook page. However, on October 21, 2015, they announced they ‘might make some more’ music together, and released a new album, Bottomless Pit in 2016. Their latest album, Year of the Snitch, was released in 2018.

The band’s music has been described as punk rock, hip-hop, noise, industrial, and electronic. Their sound ranges from minimalistic and trunk-rattling heaviness (such as on “No Love”), to rapping about dark subjects over heavily distorted samples (like on “I’ve Seen Footage”). They have also released two entirely instrumental albums, Fashion Week and Interview 2016, which feature abrasive and violent electronic beats and some guitars.

Frontman Stefan Burnett’s violent lyrics draw inspiration from a struggle both against himself and against the world at large, focusing on themes of individualism, paranoia, mental illness, drug use, occultism, and the emotionally degenerative nature of modern society.
